The Crimean and Crimean derivatives according
I to the invention surprisingly show an anti-hypertensive
action and can therefore be employed, in the free form
or in the form of their pharmaceutically safe acid add-
lion salts, as medicaments.
The novel compounds have a broad and diverse
pharmacological action spectrum and a surprisingly long
duration of action.
Specifically, the following principal actions
were demonstrable in animal experiments
1. The tone of the smooth muscle ox the vessels is
greatly lowered under the action of the compounds. This
Yascular-spasmolyt;c action may occur in the entire Yes-
cuter system or manifest itself in a more or less idol-
axed manner on circumscribed vascular regions (such as,
for example, the central nervous system). The compounds
are therefore particularly suitable for use as cerebral
therapeutic agents
lo A I 0~4

of
I -
2. The compounds lower the blood pressure of norm-
tonic and hypertonic animals and can accordingly be used
as anti-hypertensive agents.
By virtue of these properties the compounds
according to the invention are suitable for the trophy-
taxis of acute and chronic ischaemic cardiac disorders
in the broadest sense, for the therapy of hypertension
and for the treatment of cerebral and peripheral blood
circulation disturbances
The new active compounds can be converted in a
known manner into the customary formulations, such as
tablets capsules, drudges, pills, granules, aerosols,
syrups, emulsions, suspensions and solutions using
inert, nontoxic pharmaceutically suitable excipients
or solvents. The therapeutically active compound should
in each case be present in a concentration of about 0.5
to 90% by weight of the total mixture, that is Jo say
in amounts which suffice to achieve the dosage range in-
dilated.
The formulations are prepared for example by
extending the active compounds with solvents and/or exci-
pints, optionally Thea the use of emulsifiers and/or
dispersing agents and, for example when using water as
a delineate, organic solvents can optionally be used as
auxiliary solvents.
Examples of auxiliary substances which may be
mentioned are: water non-toxic organic solvents, such
as paraffins (for example petroleum fractions), vegetable
owls tfsr example groundnut oil/sesame oily, alcohols
Thor example ethyl alcohol and glycerol), glycoLs (for
example propylene glycol and polyethylene glycol), solid
excip;ents, such as, for example natural rock powders
Thor example Collins alumnus talc and Shylock Sweeney-
tic rock powders (for example highly disperse silica and
silicates), sugars for example cane sugar, lactose and
glucose), emulsifiers (for example polyoxyethylene fatty
lo A 22 084

- 25 -
acid esters, polyoxyethylene fatty alcohol ethers alkyd-
sulphonates and arylsulphonates)9 dispersing agents (for
example lignin, sulfite waste liquors, methyl cellulose,
starch and polyvinylpyrrolidone) and lubricants (for
5 example magnesium Stewart, talc, Starkey acid and sodium
lauryl-sulphate).
Administration is effected in the customary
manner, preferably orally or parenterally~ especially
per lingually or intravenously. In the case of oral use
10 the tablets can, of course, also contain, in addition to
the exc1pients mentioned, additives such as sodium aft-
rate, calcium carbonate and dicalcium phosphate, together
with various additional substances such as starch, prefer-
ably potato starch gelatin and the like. Furthermore,
15 lubricants, such as magnesium Stewart, sodium laurel-
sulfite and talc can be co-used when making tablets. In
the case of aqueous suspensions and/or elixirs which are
untended for oral use, the active compounds can be mixed
hit various flavour-improving agents or colorants in
20 addition to the above mentioned auxiliary substances
In the case of parenteraL use solutions of the
active compounds, employing suitable liquid excipients,
can be used.
In general it has proved advantageous, in the
25 case of intravenous administration, Jo administer amounts
of about 0.001 to 10 mg~k~, preferably about OWE to 5
mg/kg of body weight daily to achieve effective results
and on the case of oral administration the dosage is about
0.5 to 30 mg/kg, preferably 1 to 10 mg/kg of body weight
30 daily.
Nevertheless it can at tomes be necessary to
deviate from the amounts mentioned, and in particular to
do so as a function of the body weight of the export
mental animal or of the nature of the administration
35 method, but also because of the species of animal and
the individual behavior towards the ~ed;cament, and the

- 26 -
nature of the formulation of the medicament and the time
at which, or interval over which, the administration
takes place. Thus it can suffice, in some cases, to
manage with less than the above mentioned minimum amount,
S whilst in other cases the upper limit mentioned must be
exceeded where relatively large amounts are ad minis-
toned, it can be advisable to divide these into several
individual administrations over the course of the day.
The same dosage range is envisaged for administration in
human medicine. The general sense of the above comments
also applies again.

tinted for 3 hours and the mixture is left to stand over-
night It is then thoroughly stirred with excess ON
sodium hydroxide solution and the Tulane phase is spear-
axed off, washed with water and dried with sodium sulk
plate. After the solvent has been distilled off, the product starts to precipitate. The crystallization is
completed by adding petroleum ether. After filtering
off the product and drying it, 27.5 9 t62X of theory)

Test of anti hypertensive action on renallv hypertonic dogs
Method
_ _
Beagle hounds of both sexes are used. For a direct measure-
mint of the blood pressure the animals are fitted with a
permanent catheter in the aorta. To obtain experimental
hypertension the right aorta renewals was stenosed.

The systolic and diastolic blood pressure and the heart
rate are continuously recorded in conscious, freely moving
hounds using a radio telemetry system. The data are received
by an on-line data acquisition system (DAY 10/4; manufac-
tuner: if via a transceiver combination and evaluated
by a programmable computer (Multi 4; manufacturer: Inter-
technique). The data are delivered as hourly mean values
of all the recorded blood pressure responses.

The test substances are dissolved in polyethylene glycol
400 and are administered orally in a gelatin
capsule. The blood pressure is measured during a period
ox an hour preceding administration and for up to 16 hours
following administration.

The minimum dose is the lowest dose with which a reduction
in blood pressure of at least 15 mmHg is reached.

Test of the anti hypertensive action on spontaneously hype-
tonic rats:
Method
The blood pressure is measured indirectly on the tails of
conscious rats by means of an inflatable cult and an infrasonic
pulse recorder D along the BOUCKE-BRECHT method. During the whole
test, including a two-hour proadministration period, the animals are
individually contained in plastic tubes heated to about
30C and surrounded by a water-jacket. The inflatable rubber
cult is positioned at the start of the tail and the pulse
recorder a-t a distance of 3 cm therefrom. In order to obtain
uniform measuring results for the repeated measurements the
place of measurement on the tail is marked with Indian ink.

Measurements are taken when the cult pressure falls, the
pressure present in the cult on recurrence of the pulsations
being equal to the systolic blood pressure in the rats'
tails.

The substances are applied orally in the for of a sup-
pension by means of a probing. The systolic blood pressure
is measured prior to administration and 1, 2, 4, 6 and I
hours following administration of the substances. Each does
is tested in at least 3 animals. On each test day an us-
treated group is tested parallel to the treated animals
as a control means.

The minimum dose is the lowest dose at which a reduction
in blood pressure of at least 15 mmHg is achieved.
